Spain's ABC announces the end of Chavez

article appears based on credible inside info. Does incapacidad mean ausencia absoluta. how will madurobello deal with this -- constitutionally. Or will the pretense allow for thinking that Chávez can rule from a camilla.

Finally, that Ch is depressed destroys the myth that he's been signing documents with a forceful, deliberate hand, in red ink.

Lost use of vocal cords or lost the mental capacity to speak coherently? Losing use of vocal cords reminds me of radiation treatments in the vocal cords area. Lost the mental capacity to speak reminds me of either diminished mental capacity from a stroke or he has been unconscious for two months. Whatever. At this stage, Daniel and commenters are writing a novel that when all is finished will turn into a roman-a-clef.

Excellent point. This will likely be a $100 million funeral. Chavez corpse will travel around Venezuela visiting all the Plaza Bolivars which will become Plaza Chavez. Eventually Bolivar will have a bunk mate. Maduro and Cabello will cry because their thievery days will be gone.

So Chavez final spoken words may have been weeks ago. I bet it was " gurgle, gasp, gurgle, gasp, gurgle, choke, gurgle, drool,.."

Maduro interpreted this a giving him full power. Castro interpreted it as a sign Chavez was getting better and would soon give all of Venezuela to Cuba. Cabello said it means elections in a few weeks. The doctors interpreted that Chavez was thirsty and gave him fluids.

I think that Chavismo may have squandered their opportunity to ride the sympathy for Chavez to an election victory. After two months without Chavez amidst worsening economic conditions, maybe the rank and file Chavistas are starting to wake up and smell the coffee.

Will Venezuelans outside the country return to help it in this time of need? Who will expel the Cubans and end the siphoning of Venezuela's resources. I hope it happens and Cuba experiences the major economic implosion that has been delayed by chavez's support.

The culture chavistas have established amongst the venezuelan people,(both sides) will take generations to correct, assuming that a will to change exists, which I sincerely doubt. Both sides essentially represent that which no one wants to admit, a society in deep deep distress.

2) Your post will appear if you follow the following rules. I will be ruthless in erasing any comment that do not follow these rules, as well as those who replied to that off rule comment.

3)COMMENT RULES: Do not be repetitive. Do not bring grudges and fights from other blogs here (this is the strictest rule). This is an anti Chavez blog, with more than 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds long ago. Thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post,> in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. We are still waiting for that to happen once.Insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.
